The Matthew 25 Fund at Lourdes

Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40

Our charitable outreach at Our Lady of Lourdes is led by our Justice and Charity team and funded by our Matthew 25 Fund. This work includes a variety of initiatives supporting these organizations:

The Oblate Mission in Tijuana

St. John Paul II Preparatory Academy

Pregnancy Resources - Rachel's Vineyard and Abria

Hunger and homelessness ministries, including Sharing & Caring Hands, Dinner for the Hungry and Habitat for Humanity

Our Lady of Lourdes is committed to being a community that serves those in need, works for justice, and shares the social teaching of the Catholic Church. See the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops site for more information on t
he Church's mission.

In addition to outreach ministries, Lourdes' J&C committee sponsors several Faith in Action education programs throughout the year. This year we will sponsor talks on Catholic Social Teaching and Responding to Homelessness, Human Trafficking, and Building Sustainable Communities.
